Last week lefty bloggers, especially Jewish ones were thrilled to forward an article that an ex-israeli general had allegedly backed Barack Obama. This just shows the rush by partisans to just allow themselves to be used as living breathing talking points, instead of using their own brains to form actual opinions. It’s truly a sad example of where politics has gone today.
As I could have predicted last week, they are now saying his words words taken out of context.
A video released by the Jewish Council for Education & Research, which appeared to show several retired senior IDF and Mossad officials supporting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has proven to be misleading, with a number of officials who appeared in the video saying on Monday that their words were taken out of context.
The film’s producers have stressed in response that the Obama campaign was not involved during any stage of the production.
“It’s not only misleading, it was an interview about what the next president was going to have to deal with,” former deputy chief of General Staff Maj.-Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan told The Jerusalem Post. “And to know that they used this interview and took five seconds, and put me in a list of people praising Barack Obama…
“It wasn’t about the campaign, it was about the political and security issues of the Middle East that the next president should be involved in,” he continued. “Nothing was said about Obama or [Republican presidential candidate John] McCain.”
